What's On My Happy List?

 

September at our house!

 
I had a birthday! 🙌
It was such a lovely day.
So many happy birthday wishes
came my way...I was actually overcome 

with emotion a couple of times 

throughout the day over it all. 😂

{gf goodies from citycakescafe}

I was able to see Joseph, 

my favorite musical, 

the night of my birthday at the Hale Theatre.

It was FABULOUS! 

First time for Jaren and I at the new Hale theatre, 

which is hard to believe 

because it's been around for 9 years now. lol

Seen plenty of musicals 

at the Tuacahn and Eccles,

but had not been yet to the Hale. 

What a lovely place!

Yummy b-day food...

B and I have enjoyed doing initiatory 

temple work together...

Besides her dental assisting job

Brie occasionally works 

setting up and executing 

weddings with a friend who is a 

wedding planner/organizer.

Kate has even worked 

with them too!

Usually 12 hour gigs!

I love when Brie gets to bring home 

flowers from the weddings

she works at...

B is also an assistant to Hannah 

with wedding content creation when

Hannah is double-booked and/or 

isn't available to shoot a wedding.

Hannah also works with B at the same dental 

office, but as the receptionist.

The two sisters are very intertwined

with their working. haha 

Hannah filmed at 26 weddings last year and 

this year she is booked for 35! 

It's fun to see her work

@thebridalmedia

She had a great time on Brady's family

cruise taken earlier this month.
